What does “I’m fine” really mean in your family?

Judge Greg Mathis, Linda Mathis, Jade Mathis, Greg Cooper-Mathis Jr., and Amir Mathis compare how they respond to stress, from shutting down and overworking to doom-scrolling, going off the grid, and laughing through it.

They revisit familiar Black family phrases like “stop crying” and “you’ll be fine,” debate whether social media has made people more honest or simply better at pretending, and discuss how to support someone without minimizing what they feel.

Sometimes support means listening. Sometimes it means giving space. Sometimes it means leaving food at the door.
